The UK's former top Brexit negotiator has said the new deal does not change the fundamentals of the NI Protocol:
The Stormont official who originally developed that concept said the new deal is is better in "practical, constitutional and presentational terms" than either the backstop or the original protocol.but at that time the UK government was not keen on the idea.Mr McCormick said the new framework is "a very significant achievement - well beyond expectations on what might have been negotiable in the context set by the previous stances of the UK government and the EU".
Meanwhile the UK's former peace process negotiator, Jonathan Powell, has said the Democratic Unionist Party is right to take its time to assess the deal but "should not get lost in the weeds".Mr Powell suggests the DUP would be "wise" to ultimately accept the deal even if it does not deliver everything they want.
Writing in the Financial Times Mr Powell said the alternative would be "a dead end with no assembly at Stormont and permanent political instability in Northern Ireland".
